Such fees throw a percentage of a home’s sale price back to the original developer each time the home is sold.

Under the new legislation, new private transfer fees will not be allowed. Developers who have existing fees on properties must file a notice of the obligation in county property records by Jan. 31, 2012, and update it every three years. If they fail to meet this requirement, the transfer fee is void.

Blogging... yeah, it seems a bit vain at times. Did a NY Times writer really say, "Never have so many written so much to be read by so few?" Hilarious!!! I like the discipline of writing articles. I like putting useful North Texas area real estate information out there. I think that Facebook is quicker, faster, and certainly has greater traffic.

. But, who knows... at least the brain is twisting, turning, and my clients can see that on my website I am eager to communicate to them about their real estate needs in Murphy, Rowlett, Richardson, Plano, etc...

I like my job. Reminds me of a joke my Dad used to tell me, he got it from Henny Youngman. ...An elderly Jewish man was crossing the street when he was hit by a car. The paramedic shows up and says, "Are you comfortable?" The man says, "I make a good living."

Real Estate Agents that Don't Suck... (a rant)

REALTOR Ethics Codes prohibit me from posting who the terrible 80% are and why they are a scourge to our industry. But no one says I can't tell you who the good ones are!

There are some really lousy agents out there and lousy loan officers too. A client of mine once told me that he read an article that said 80% of licensees were awful. I agree with that, unfortunately. There are even whole brokerages devoted to sub-standard work. The REALTOR code of ethics prohibits me from giving you a list of all the lousy ones, much less telling you why they are so poor. Just because they are not listed doesn't mean they are lousy... but if they aren't on this list, assume the worst... just to be safe.
